Emotional stimuli is the answer to your question.
D. potential energy, because there is a bunch of water pent up, essentially stationary, waiting to roll down the steep mountain from the peak, so to say. if the dam were to be removed it would become kinetic.
Answer:
Vy = V sin theta = 30 * ,574 = 17.2 m/s
t1 = 17.2 / 9.8 = 1.76 sec to reach max height
Max height = 17.2 * 1.76 - 1/2 * 4.9 * 1.76^2 = 15.1 m
H = V t - 1/2 g t^2 = 1.2 * 9.8 * 1.76^2 = 15.1 m
Time to fall from zero speed to ground = rise time = 1.76 sec
Vx = V cos 35 = 24.6 m / sec horizontal speed
Time in air = 1.76 * 2 = 3.52 sec before returning to ground
S = 24.6 * 3.52 = 86.6 m
